Hep-Ph explores the fundamental forces that govern how particles interact and behave at the smallest scales imaginable. This field bridges the gap between theoretical predictions and experimental reality, helping scientists understand the building blocks of our universe without getting lost in complex mathematics. Whether investigating the Higgs boson or searching for new physics beyond current models, these studies push the boundaries of human knowledge about matter and energy.

Below are the latest papers in this dynamic field, ready for you to explore with clarity and depth.
This paper proposes a novel phase-space partitioning scheme using Legendre polynomial zeros and sign-function weighting to define new CP asymmetry observables that effectively separate interference and non-interference contributions in multi-body heavy meson decays, demonstrating their utility in analyzing the channel near the resonance with LHCb data.
This paper investigates the potential of the 100 TeV high-energy LHC to probe lepton-flavor-violating decays of doubly charged Higgs bosons produced via photon fusion in the type-II seesaw model, demonstrating that an integrated luminosity of 3 ab could exclude triplet scalar masses up to approximately 1150 GeV under the inverted neutrino mass hierarchy.
This study demonstrates that the directed flow () of charm quarks in asymmetric Cu+Au collisions is significantly enhanced compared to light hadrons and serves as a sensitive probe for both the initial spatial distribution of heavy quarks and temperature-dependent medium transport coefficients.
This paper presents updated and improved Big Bang Nucleosynthesis constraints on heavy, long-lived beyond-the-Standard-Model relics decaying into Standard Model particles by incorporating refined nuclear reaction rates, modern abundance measurements, advanced simulation tools like PYTHIA 8, and a more sophisticated treatment of hadronic and electromagnetic injection effects.
This paper derives and demonstrates that exclusive quasi-elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering exhibits a parity-violating azimuthal asymmetry in the outgoing nucleon distribution, which is sensitive to nuclear modeling and potentially observable with current-generation detectors to improve neutrino energy reconstruction.
This paper reviews the modern landscape of exotic hadron spectroscopy in heavy-flavor systems, highlighting how recent experimental discoveries of recurring structures—such as hidden-charm pentaquarks, charged charmonium-like states, and doubly-heavy tetraquarks—have transformed these phenomena from isolated anomalies into a systematic field of study.
This mini-review proposes that gluon condensation, driven by the nonlinear dynamics of the Zhu-Shen-Ruan equation, serves as a critical bridge connecting the deep internal structure of protons to high-energy cosmic gamma-ray phenomena, potentially explaining broken-power-law spectral features and offering a unified framework for exploring extreme quantum chromodynamics across multiple fields of physics.
The paper proposes a novel "family-separated" solution to the canonical seesaw mechanism that establishes a direct correlation between the masses and mixing parameters of light and heavy Majorana neutrinos, thereby linking CP-violating effects in neutrino oscillations to heavy neutrino decays.
This paper introduces and validates a formally correct machine-learning-based global proposal mechanism for Monte Carlo sampling in SU(2) lattice gauge theory, demonstrating its ability to reproduce target ensembles and achieve modest efficiency gains in hybrid configurations while serving as a proof-of-principle foundation for future extensions to larger lattices and non-Abelian theories.
This paper clarifies that observational evidence for effective phantom dark energy, derived from background-level reconstructions within standard cosmological assumptions, does not necessarily imply the existence of fundamental phantom fields, microscopic instabilities, or a catastrophic cosmic future, but rather can arise from various physical mechanisms without violating fundamental energy conditions.
